> "The idea is to slowly deprecate the amenity tag" I don't see why we should deprecate a key used millions of times for important features like schools, hospitals, pharmacies, banks, gas stations, and parking lots.
Changing this would require all database users, including all 4 map styles on openstreetmap.org, to change what features are rendered, for no clear benefit, and would also require retagging millions of features. The key "healthcare" was approved almost 10 years ago in 2010, and many of the newly introduced tags have been somewhat popular, but there has never been any momentum towards replacing the commonly used tags for hospitals, pharmacies and clinics, because there is no problem with the existing tags. Rather promiting double-tagging with healthcare=pharmacy is a problem: it is a needless duplication which provides no additional information. - Joseph Eisenerg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
